How Do You Measure Consciousness?

[Guest guest]

On Monday I was sitting at my desk at work when " out of the blue " I

started think about someone who I hadn't seen in years, wondering

what he was up to, where he was these days. He was someone I used to

work for, a mentor of mine from long ago.

 

Thoughts of him popped into my mind several more times on Monday and

Tuesday.

 

On Wednesday I walked out of my office, turned the corner, and there

he was in the aisle talking with someone. He had been in my

building....since Monday! He was on a special assignment, attending

an all-week meeting there.

 

So all week, my always aware, subconscious mind, Unihipili, was

telling me that there was someone I knew nearby in the building who I

hadn't seen in awhile and it was bound and determined to get my

attention about it. Was my walking out into the aisle at that moment

a random act, or was it me acting upon a subconscious thought...

 

I've noticed since Doc's October seminar that:

 

My sense of awareness of is greatly heightened. But I can't put a

number on it...how do you measure consciousness?

 

I figured out now that I have 18 senses (so far) to play with...a

year ago I thought I only had 6. I'm sure there are more....

 

Even my dreams are different... vividly detailed...often lucid....I

remember them when I wake up...dream time is a very

constructive/instuctive time for me now that I know how to take

advantage of that time.

 

Something's changed since October....and I'm liking the difference.

 

Just some examples of many things, small to way beyond huge, that

I've been experiencing since October.

 

Thanks :-)

Hi Robin,

 

You're making sense. I know it can't be measured and I've changed,

yes!

 

I'd like to rephrase things slightly though...actually, EVERYTHING

has changed since October but things started to come together

beginning in July with Doc's first workshop that I attended, and the

Huna workshops....and I'm liking the difference....

 

....and the changes continue, and I continue to cultivate them through

practice, and doing, and the things I'm continuing to learn....or

maybe some I'm relearning and being reminded of...things just really

click for some reason.

 

It's kind of like being handed a huge key chain full of keys and you

find THE key that fits THE door after the first try because you can

now easily distinguish it from all the rest...

 

....and then you look and you see that all the doors beyond that one,

are wide open and waiting for you..

Enjoying life, having fun...did someone here mention a kid in a candy

shop?

 

P.S.Thank you for the blessings! And to you likewise..
